Cool.
Thanks, I hate it.
Tbh I would prefer that hahahaThey should put the Epic launcher on itch.io too and create an endless loop.
That's the only way this makes any sense.They're clearly pretty desperate to try to make their insane requests of Apple look reasonable.
They already had Spotify on there ages ago.
Spotify, Brave, and iHeartRadio are there for when EGS launches as a competitor store in Android. Which according to them should be later on in 2021.
Selling music/podcasts within a video game store isn't really the same as a video game store within a video game store.
The itch app is the same as the one you can download from itch itself.
oh, i wasn't aware of it until todayThe itch app is the same as the one you can download from itch itself.
Yup. But adding all the games to your library is still a pain as far as I remember. Maybe someone found a n easy way to do it?OP reminded me I (and a lot of us) own like 1500+ games on itch.io.

Yeah, this is 100% what this move is. EGS is less of a store, and more of a money pit that Epic can throw around to attempt to make what they're asking for look reasonable.Not really. Now is last week of preparation of EGS vs Apple lawsuit, with court sessions starting after next week.
So they can use it as evidence that as another "EGS does it therefore Apple must do it too".
They already did it for 12% cut and changed MTXN rules on EGS to external payments and submitted argument now Apple must do so too.
Epic's intentions with even allowing this on their store are far from pure. There are some pretty good reasons why this sort of store-ception doesn't normally happen, and Epic is absolutely trying to pretend those don't exist to support their lawsuit. The direct implications of itch.io getting onto EGS are vastly overshadowed by the potential implications of what Epic is going to use this as an argument in favor of.this is exclusively a good thing, but of course people will find reasons to deny developers additional eyes on their games.
itch is cooler than your beloved steam btw 😎
You realize that one can be for this, and for improved visibility of indie games in general while at the same time have objections to Epic's other business practices, yes? It's the wonder of being able to have a rational, nuanced take on things....this is exclusively a good thing, but of course people will find reasons to deny developers additional eyes on their games.
